Another year of WIPocalypse - the one thing that keeps this blog going, as usual posting on a Friday as that's my day off

Introduce yourself, your projects, and any goals you have for the year!

I'm Nancy, known on most random sites such as Deviant Art  as Katjakay, I'm a baker in British Columbia, Canada and have been stitching for 18 years or thereabouts. I'm also a two at a time stitcher and almost always finish one before starting another, in other words my only WIP's are the one's I am currently working on. I have no UFO's, yes my stitching friends find this strange.  Last year I started doing Christmas ornament for one week a month and enjoyed it so much I'm implementing that again.

 So my projects at the moment are to finish Bellatrix by Bella Filipina designs. She's been my back up piece for a while, so this year she takes the lead and shouldn't take too long at this point

My ornaments are mainly Mill Hill ones, but other things might slip in as well, I just finished the final one of Polar Pals by Durene Jones and will fully finish them when I get around to it.

My secondary piece is Mill Hills Fairy Garden that I started on the cruise last year and set aside. This will be picked up again as soon as I finish the jigsaw puzzle that is on my working table

I also want to try diamond painting this year and bought myself one with a Christmas gift certificate. I'll probably work on it during the Olympics this year.

As for what I watched

Critical Role

Kelsey Dangerous’ Sims 4 playthroughs

Game of Thrones Season 8 - True it wasn’t as good as previous seasons, but it also wasn’t bad.

WKRP in Cincinnati - Season 1 - This was one of my favorites growing up and it holds up surprisingly well

His Dark Materials - Season 3 - This was my least favorite of the books so we’ll see how the season goes.

Wonka - So it was movie night and I didn’t know what to go to, so I went back to this, it was still good a second time.

Cinderella  - The jukebox musical one from 2021 with Camilia Cabello it’s light hearted and a lot of fun

Migration - Cute little animated comedy about a family of ducks
